An Unforgettable Culinary Experience - Exceptional Catering by Rashid! I recently had the pleasure of ordering a large catering spread from this fantastic restaurant for a family gathering, and I am compelled to write a review because the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. From the initial order to the last bite, every detail was handled with care and expertise, largely thanks to the owner, Rashid.
The Food: A Flavorful Journey
We ordered a mix of non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes, and each one was a standout in its own right.
Non-Veg Kababs (Medium Tray): We tried the Chicken Malai Kabab, Chicken Bihari Kabab, and the Seekh/Chicken Kabab. This was the star of the show.
The Malai Kabab was incredibly succulent and tender, melting in the mouth. The marinade of cream, yogurt, and mild spices was perfectly balanced—rich but not overwhelming.
The Bihari Kabab was a flavor bomb. The distinct, earthy notes of the spices, with a slight char from the grill, gave it an authentic, robust taste that had everyone reaching for more.
The Seekh/Chicken Kabab was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and had that wonderful smoky texture you expect from a well-made seekh kabab. The quality of the minced meat was evident.
Veg Malai Kofta: As a companion to the kababs, this dish was a masterpiece. The koftas were soft, creamy, and did not disintegrate in the gravy—a sign of expert preparation. The malai gravy was luxuriously smooth, mildly sweet, and aromatic with cardamom and saffron. It was a hit even with the hardcore non-vegetarians at the table!
Veg Biryani: Often a tricky dish to get right, this Veg Biryani was exceptional. The basmati rice was perfectly cooked, each grain separate and fragrant. It was loaded with fresh vegetables and the subtle blend of whole spices infused the entire dish without being overpowering. It was a complete and satisfying dish on its own.
A Word on the Owner, Rashid:
The true highlight of this experience was interacting with Rashid. His passion for his craft is palpable. He was incredibly patient, helping me finalize the menu and ensuring the order would be perfect for the number of guests we had. He was responsive, professional, and his commitment to customer satisfaction is commendable. On the day of the pickup, he personally ensured everything was packed meticulously, remained hot, and even offered serving suggestions. You can tell he doesn't just run a business; he takes immense pride in sharing his culinary art with his customers.
Final Verdict:
This wasn't just a catering order; it was a seamless, delightful experience that left our guests thoroughly impressed. The food was fresh, flavorful, and traveled exceptionally well. The prices were more than fair for the outstanding quality and generous portions.
If you are looking for authentic, delicious, and carefully prepared food for your next event, look no further. I will undoubtedly be a repeat customer and highly recommend this gem of a restaurant to anyone. A heartfelt thank you to Syed Rashid and his team for making our gathering so special!

Read moreWe were in the area for an event, and it was time to eat. I looked up a few spots, and I chose this one. When we entered, the owner greeted us and seated us. The place has a good number of tables. We placed the food order and the owner told us that we make it fresh so it’s going to take about 15 minutes. When the food came and we tasted a few dishes that we ordered, all of them were extremely delicious. My friends and I started comparing the food to other restaurants that we’ve been to, and the majority agreed that the food was much better than most. The naans were very fluffy. The owner told us that he actually makes the masalas for the dishes, in-house, they don’t buy off the shelf masalas to use. That adds more flavor and more freshness to the food. The food was not too spicy and that was also appreciated by me, because sometimes you go to these restaurants and the food is like extremely spicy and you cannot even enjoy it. The food was very good. He also said that they make the food when the order is placed so the food is always fresh. And it was very evident in when we ate the food we felt that it was really fresh. He gave us a complimentary dessert to savor and it was very good too. I rate this place five stars and would definitely...
